SSD OS Transfer help!!

[L_Dub]

So after seeing Logan from TS tweet the deal of the day, a 120 GB Kingston HyperX for $75 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/331042574901?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649)

 

I went ahead and ordered one, I know there is some ways to transfer OS through a program provided by a SSD manufacturer (Can't remember who...) but I'm also aware of doing it manually. I.E. Clean install, then transferring files to a backup HDD before formatting old OS HDD. 

I'd very much like to avoid that, with over 600 Gigs on my OS drive atm i'm not sure but i believe that the transfers would take several days (Correct me if i'm wrong).

 

So I guess i'm wondering if anyone here knows of a program/way to do this without a hassle, and if not what then is the easiest way to achieve the same results without it being a major pain in the arse.

 

 

Thanks,

Somewhat, A is a 1TB HDD and i'm wanting to transfer/clean install my OS the B, the SSD. I'd like to do that without having to format drive A.

humm. hmmm. indeed hmmm. well. wouldnt it be easier to just cleaninstall the os on drive  B and just wipe it form driva a when the time comes ?. that way you wouldnt lose any files.

I'd guess but wouldn't the computer think it was a Dual Boot when initaly starting up?

Also do you know of a way that a person can delete files by hand without loosing data.

Mainly i'm thinking of OS files, I'm someone that dosn't like clutter.
